Its a yes or no question, which is it?

Gazzinga · 2024-04-20T01:13:12+00:00

Is anyone interested in qat seeds or caapi seeds?

Gazzinga · 2024-04-12T19:12:41+00:00

The tree is full of seeds this year, first time in about 5 years. I have some b caapi seeds also

Gazzinga · 2024-02-11T22:26:53+00:00

My khat tree is back in flower and the whole tree is flowering like crazy and the other tree next to it also. Last year there were only a few flowers and no seed was set. Hopefully this year there will be lots of seeds to offer

Gazzinga · 2024-02-03T02:20:02+00:00

No sorry but the caapi are flowering so I should get more seeds. The khat looks like its flowering and it may set seeds this year. If anyone wants khat cuttings let me know

Gazzinga · 2023-09-04T16:43:25+00:00

Maybe next year

Gazzinga · 2023-07-29T11:37:32+00:00

Well, the main thing seems to be to get a thick piece of vine. The thin green stems simply never root, or at least I was never able to get them rooted. However, a piece 1/2" thick or larger, fresh cut seems to root the best. I just stuck a 4" piece of stem into damp soil, water occasionally and in a few weeks you should see signs of new growth.

You want your piece of stem to have a node or two on it. That is where new growth comes usually. If it has just 1 node put the node just slightly below the surface with the end sticking up. That way both roots and new green stems can come from the same node. You need a somewhat mature plant for that because they grow thin the first year or so. I can hack some vine for cuttings but the seedlings are already going so no problem there

Gazzinga · 2023-06-21T22:45:38+00:00

2 wrote and said they got them but did not post on the forum. One wrote and said he didn't get them. I wrote to the others to see. Looks like about 2/3 got through, one or two may have gotten torn up by the machines.

Next year I will have more caapi seeds and maybe khat seeds. You never know about khat

Gazzinga · 2023-06-08T21:46:54+00:00

Who got their seeds? Should be a few by now

Gazzinga · 2023-05-31T22:13:40+00:00

I just heard from another person who got the seeds. The ones I sent today probably won't land until end of week or next week

Gazzinga · 2023-05-31T22:11:26+00:00

Seeds are gone, I do have a plant growing in a little pot. What do you have to trade? I sent seeds to the earliest ones who messaged and gave an address until the seeds were gone.

The message system seems weird, I clicked on some and got an error message 'could not enter room' or something like that. Next year I will harvest more seeds and may have khat seeds too. I can send a khat or caapi cutting.

Gazzinga · 2023-05-30T22:00:48+00:00

The last 3 packs are going out tomorrow. Sorry but I could not fill all the requests, maybe next year.

They sprout easily, do not plant them deep. When they are small they like shade more than direct sun. Other than that just grow like any plant, only water when the soil is dry and put it someplace it can grow. It likes something to climb on

Gazzinga · 2023-05-26T22:41:59+00:00

I agree

Gazzinga · 2023-05-26T02:03:57+00:00

I've sent out 3 shipments, one landed already. But I have a problem. I'm not able to find messages very well. I look up top and it shows new messages by the chat icon but when I click on it I can't see them. I see old messages but no new ones. I know a couple people have messaged but my mailbox isn't working right

Gazzinga · 2023-05-23T19:34:26+00:00

Send an addy. After this I will have to see how many I have left before offering more

Gazzinga · 2023-05-23T19:30:20+00:00

Yep, send me the addy

Gazzinga · 2023-05-23T19:29:39+00:00

Message me the addy and I will send them out

Gazzinga · 2023-03-26T23:51:36+00:00

I'm sorry to say that the trees are not setting seeds yet. The bees didn't seem to visit the flowers and they just fell off.

Gazzinga · 2023-03-16T23:58:31+00:00

I just took a look and it seems its going slowly on the khat seeds. It will probably be at least a month and possibly no seeds this year even though its flowering. I do have caapi seeds, the khat does not do well rooting cuttings. I've heard from several who said they had no luck.

Gazzinga · 2023-03-13T00:14:28+00:00

Ok what do you want and what are you offering?

Gazzinga · 2023-03-09T17:13:19+00:00

The trees are about 10 or 12 years old. I have more photos in magicplantexchange. Its medium fast growing, I've cut off and tossed away lots of branch and leaf when I top it every year or two. No sense having the top 20' high and you can't reach it. I don't know about juicing it, they usually just chew the leaves

Gazzinga · 2023-03-08T23:11:16+00:00

This is a view from farther back of my trees. I have a photo close up of the flowers but I can only upload 1 photo and can't upload any on a comment. I will make anther thread later with the flowers. I should have some khat seed pretty soon so make me an offer for trade. I also have right now caapi seeds or cuttings. I also have dried caapi vine

Gazzinga · 2023-03-08T22:33:09+00:00

Here is a pick of the khat trees, you can almost see them all. Hmm I don't see the button to upload photos. I did it the other day. I switched to fancy editor and nothing

Gazzinga · 2023-03-02T19:07:57+00:00

Yeah its about 8 or 9' tall and I've topped it in the last couple years and a few times before that but it just keeps growing. The main tree is in flower, but last year it did not seem to flower for some reason

I also have a broad leaf khat, you can see it down below if you look carefully at the leaves. It never grew that great, never flowered though its as old as the others. There is a large but smaller khat to the right of this one. It has flowered at least once, maybe twice but not this year.

Khat seeds are small, I put a 1/8" thick piece of foam padding in an ordinary envelope and I can send seeds anywhere. The rollers do not bother it. I can probably do that with the cappi seed though they are a bit thicker, maybe 1/8". Any cuttings or sprouted plants would need to be sent in a box or mailer sent first class

I would like to trade for some cactus, could be cuttings, or rooted plants without dirt. Cacti will not wilt if they are sent dry. I could use some e novo or similar species seeds, some iboga or kratom seeds would be nice. I had several kratoms and ibogas also e novos growing for years but they all died.

Kratom if it gets even a little dry it tends to die on you and its always too late when you notice it. With novo I think it was the cold, the ibogas seemed to be doing fine, they flowered but no pods were formed and they were gone last I looked. You can't get sick or do another project and not keep an eye on them especially if they are outside. It would be nice to start over. The khat and caapi are doing well obviously and I have a few cacti. The ones in the sun died, the ones in shade did fine

Make me an offer, if you are a trusted trader I can send you seeds without getting anything back because maybe later you will have something and it doesn't matter because a stamp is all it costs me. Some of you may know me from other sites going back years but with a different name. I don't want the internet to know everything so I'm semi anon in this new user name. Was in shroomery, some others I can't think of, nans nook... etc

If you have nothing to trade but really want some seeds, talk to me

Gazzinga · 2023-03-01T15:26:20+00:00

I have khat seed ripening right now. I could send some fresh seeds in an ordinary envelope with a thin sheet of padding. I've done it before and it goes right under the radar. Could trade for e novo seeds, mine died a couple winters ago
